How many advanced players or professionals still take lessons, or at least consult on a regular basis with someone else about their playing? It seems logical; a knowledgeable observer might see or hear things the player might miss while focused on playing. A good teacher might also have broader or more detailed knowledge, even if an advanced student is technically a better player than they are.
In athletics it's common: tennis pros have personal coaches, boxers have trainers, baseball players rely on pitching or batting coaches to improve their technique or avoid errors creeping in, etc. Today I learned of a top male singer who still has a regular vocal coach, and it made me wonder how common that kind of thing is in the music world.
